summer peach tart

Baking usually takes a lot of time, but in the summer, I want to be able to bake something fast without turning my studio apartment into a sauna. This peach tart is perfect for that! The ingredients list is short and there are very few steps, which means that you can have this on the table in no time.

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Take your puff pastry sheet out from the freezer and let it thaw on the counter for 20 minutes. Once thawed, cut it in half or into thirds - your preference - and place on lined baking sheet. If at anytime it gets too soft/mushy, just stick it back in the freezer for a few minutes!
3. Cut the peaches, remove the pit, and then slice them thinly.
4. Mix sliced peaches in a bowl with brown sugar and cinnamon. Let this sit for a few minutes.
5. Place sliced peaches on puff pastry.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
7. Serve with whipped cream... or ice cream! Yum!
